When you are deciding if you can afford a Hoboken home,one of the first measures of deciding how much house you can afford is adding up the cost of your expected monthly expenses.

Keep the following things in mind regarding a home’s affordability:

Be aware that most online mortgage calculators do not factor in homeowners insurance premiums and taxes when they spit out a monthly number. You can decide to roll these into your monthly mortgage payment (called escrow) or pay them annually.

Also, keep an eye out while searching for a house online, the listing will often give you the estimated annual taxes.

Any fees for HOA ( Homeowner’s Association ), Co-op Assessment, or Maintenance Fees, will also drive up your monthly payment.

These fees usually cover any common ground maintenance and expenses. HOA’s often require that residents maintain their own property to a certain standard as well.

Owning a home means being smart and allowing an annual budget for repairs and maintenance. ‘’Home Buying for Dummies’’ states that you can expect to spend at least 1% of an older home’s purchase price.
